Intermittent Fasting For Bodybuilding

By Alison Bowling


Intermittent fasting reproduces the natural conditions that man experienced in ancient times when he was a hunter-gatherer. During those times it wasn't odd for people to go without nutrition for 1 or 2 days whilst they were out searching. The human body is developed to have peak muscle functionality in a fasted state as this would have allowed famished hunters to catch their food when they need it the most.

In bodybuilding, sporadic fasting is employed rather successfully for fat loss without muscle loss. It is advised to fast once or twice a week, however experienced fasters under particular conditions, can fast up to 3 times weekly.

A good time to fast is after a "cheat day" where you have had insulin spikes. The hormonal effect of a twenty-four hour fast is much better than with longer fasts due to the fact that blood insulin will stay low and stable for a longer amount of time than it does with other kinds of fasts.

On a shorter fast, your sympathetic nervous system becomes very responsive and you will have a larger adrenalin flow and an increased development hormone flow. The body additionally goes into a state called "autophagy" where it will get rid of the unhealthy cells in the body, consequently enhancing the quality of muscle tissue. The only thing to be aware of is that the consumption of an amino acid supplement can prevent autophagy so it is best to go without whilst you are fasting.

Now, had we all been brought up in a totally natural state, our bodies would be greatly sturdy and we would tolerate fasting really well. Given that we have seldom skipped a meal in our lives and have been raised up to think that it is absolutely important to actually eat every three-four hours, then working out how to fast will require just a little determination in the beginning.

If you find that throughout your fast you are starving, you can remind yourself that the lack of food is doing your body good by enhancing your hormonal levels and beginning autophagy. If you stop to objectively analyze the feeling of hunger pangs , you will realize that they are not half as unpleasant as you initially thought them to be. It is important to associate the physical sensation of appetite with a favorable frame of mind.

Twenty-three hours into your fast it is advisable to do a bout of high intensity training to break your fast. Do your extreme training session and then go in for a protein shake to break the fast.

A significant amount scientific investigation has actually been done on recurring fasting for sportsmen and the firm conclusion is that it is a healthy and natural process to remove fat whilst increasing muscle. Skeptics will maintain that you are "starving yourself" and that the whole approach is dangerous for your well-being. After in depth third party analysis and study, we are satisfied that this is not the case.

The reason why recurring fasting is becoming popular among bodybuilding pros, is that the "precision diet program" that is otherwise important is rather time consuming and tough to follow. It is impossible for bodybuilders to lead a normal social life if they are following the proper, calculated muscle building eating strategy and on the whole planning, cooking food and eating meals takes over a big chunk of their day.

When doing intermittent fasting, you can actually eat normally during the other days. In other words, you will find you've got a great deal of spare time, you fork out less money on food and you're able to go out for dinner with your friends without feeling bad about it.
